As you say, broadening our listening interests is certainly one way of keeping interested in the hobby and having plenty of signals to monitor. And because SWBC QSLs are becoming rarer these days, perhaps they are becoming more valuable in the minds of DXers. It&#39;s an interesting discussion, isn&#39;t it? Thanks again Rajdeep!

It is a sad scenario for SWBC DXers these days, On one hand broadcasters are abandoning Shortwave and on the other relevance of reception reports to the broadcasters is at a low ebb. Electronic verifications serve as a good alternative under the existing conditions, however, e-QSLs are no match for QSL cards, decked up with a postage stamp and a post-mark, addressed to you! I guess, it&#39;s time that SWBC DXers should diversify into listening Pirates and learning to become HAMs, in order to continue enjoying the wonderful hobby of DXing in the long run.
